Unit 4: Carbon Nanostructures Carbon Structures: • Carbon contains six electrons with electronic structure: (1s2)‚ (2s)‚ (2px)‚ (2py)‚ (2pz). Outer s orbital together with three p orbitals form the chemical bonds of carbon with other atoms. • Conventionally‚ solid carbon has two main structures called allotropic forms: diamond and graphite: - Diamond is tetrahedrally bonded through sp3 hybrid bonds that form a 3D network. - Graphite has a layered structure with each layer called graphene formed

Carbon nanotube 1 Carbon nanotube Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with [1] length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132‚000‚000:1‚ significantly larger than for any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties‚ which are valuable for nanotechnology‚ electronics‚ optics and other fields of materials science and technology.
